Great price / value though if you have more credit go for a bigger pack which contains north by norhwest and some physical materials as well. This is a simple and plain 14 BD set with a book like holder. (see videos on youtube)

The Master at a great price

This Collection is what every Hitchcock fan needs, beautifully packaged in a full colour book type case with great poster art and graphics. The films are all crisp and clear and the only disappointment is that strangers on a train, the lady vanishes and North by Northwest aren't in this collection, however that is not the fault of the makers nor Zavvi. Slow delivery, however it was around Xmas. Well packaged to ensure product arrived undamaged.

happy that I bought this

Blu ray box set is for a Christmas present so not yet opened but the service from Zavvi has been great. Box set is compact and great for any film buff. Great price as less than half price and arrived quickly with lots of communication to keep me updated. Many thanks.

Brilliant Remasters

An excellent set for a fantastic price full of extras which only add to the value. A little disappointing that North by Northwest isn't included in the UK version of the set but I guess that's due to the studio rather than distributors!

Perfect

Superb transfers on almost all of the films (which considering the age of most of them is pretty amazing). Really nicely presented boxset (although I was very suprised at how compact it is with the number of discs!) and the amount of extras is very impressive indeed. A "must have" for any cinema/film lover's collection.
